Nostalgia & History > Need help IDing this LVRR sceneDate: 02/28/15 17:21 Need help IDing this LVRR scene Author: Pattenburg Came across this photo of LV 152 perhaps backing these two flatcars so those two trailers can be unloaded. I have no idea as to where this photo was taken and hoped that someone on this forum might be able to ID this location . The tall building off to the left reads "Lehigh Warehouse & Transportation Co." A second sign above the trailers states "Lehigh Valley Freight Station". Any additional information about this photo anyone might notice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Transportation being located in Newark, NJ. Date: 03/01/15 07:35 Re: Need help IDing this LVRR scene Author: CPR_4000 Interesting trailers . . . one's Nickel Plate and the other appears to be a common carrier. Can you read the roadnames on the flats? Both LV?
